Thanks for the testcase.  I meant to make one when alpha started having EH
problems awhile back, but never got to it....Matthias, I believe this one
will also catch the case that I saw on alpha.

I'll try to get my Indy booted again to check this out, but I don't know
about the MIPS bits in gcc enough to really be able to find this
easily.  Nonetheless, I'll see what I can do.
